okayy.. not the ///M3 but my Impala. wanted to show the Bimmer crowd see what you guys think! I got the car at 16 (first pics) and wanted to restore the car. It was pretty beat but it had potential. I saved up for 2 and 1/2 years. when I was finally ready for the restore some DB decided to key my car and pop my just purchaced tires.

looks like he kinda did me a favor because my insurance covered my repaint

I re-chromed the bumpers and grille. got all new emblems disk brakes in the front. (getting rear soon) I had lowered the car once but it still sat kinda high (pic parked next to M3) so this Saturday I lowered it a little moar! I love the way it sits now and drives

I took it out for some much needed pictures
PLEASE NO HATING

That looks nice, ride height is great, but there's just something about those rims . . .
Glad you didn't go 13''

I throw the 13"s for the lowrider shows just so people don't talk trash about my 20"s.

but I like the wheels I have now I just want them a litle wider in the rear. I didn't know what I was doing when I bought those 2 years ago.

UncleWede · 06-01-2009, 10:43 AM

Did you keep the original rims from the top pictures?

cali weather is so perfect for cars...you don't know how lucky you are...in the Northeast...everyone of those cars are destroyed unless they were stored and fully restored...

Just don't ever give into temptation and sell it....you will spend the rest of your life looking for another...

weather has been pretty ugly lately, by our standards (June Gloom) but not the worst I've seen. yea the only reason I would ever consider selling it is if I had something better on stand by. But even then I would cry its my first.
btw on your sig. RIP mean you wrecked them?

DevJ · 06-01-2009, 04:21 PM

Car looks sick man!

inabis · 06-01-2009, 05:37 PM

Looks nice, the white just doesn't do it justice though

cougfan335 · 06-01-2009, 05:40 PM

Love the Impala, especially knowing you have 3 sets of rims and the lowriders 13s aren't on every day.
